Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Improving the Capacity of Panel Physicians Performing Overseas Medical Examinations of U.S. Bound Immigrants and Refugees," is a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) discretionary funding program designed to strengthen how required overseas medical examinations are carried out for immigrants and refugees traveling to the United States. The central aim is capacity-building: improving the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of these examinations so that medical screening and related public health protections are carried out more reliably across the many countries and clinical settings where these exams occur. The opportunity is explicitly aligned with the Healthy People 2020 focus area of Global Health, reflecting the idea that protecting health in the U.S. also depends on strong health systems and standardized practices internationally, especially in areas tied to migration and cross-border movement.

The CDC is offering support through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is Health, and the relevant CFDA listing is 93.318, described as "Protecting and Improving Health Globally Building and Strengthening Public Health Impact, Systems, Capacity and Security." The estimated total funding amount listed for the program is $1,000,000, with one expected award. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both are shown as $0), which usually indicates that the actual award amount and structure are defined in the full announcement or negotiated within the cooperative agreement framework. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.

Eligibility is highly restricted. The opportunity is effectively a directed award: the only eligible applicant identified is the International Panel Physicians Association (IPPA). The announcement states that assistance will be provided only to IPPA and that no other applications will be solicited. In practical terms, this means the funding is intended to support a specific partner organization that is positioned to work with panel physicians, coordinate training or guidance, and help standardize overseas examination practices that affect U.S.-bound immigrant and refugee health screening.

Key administrative details place the opportunity in 2014. It was posted and created on April 24, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 24, 2014. Applications were due June 24, 2014, at 11:59 p.m. U.S. Eastern Standard Time, and the archive date is July 24, 2014, indicating it is no longer active. The funding opportunity number is CDC-RFA-CK14-1403, and it is categorized as a discretionary program using the cooperative agreement instrument.
